    Angry New Airxcell SDN2 will not work - any ideas?

    New 307MKS with outdoor kitchen. The stove, an Airxcell SDN2, does nothing. No propane, no spark, nothing. Moved propane line to adjacent fitting and valve - nothing. This is served by the line that goes to the fridge, no issues here. I would find it odd that both the adjacent valves and hose fittings are bad so I am leaning to stove issues. Any ideas?

    The Airxcell SDN2 (Suburban) does not have a "sparker". To light it, you need to depress the knob and rotate it counter clockwise to the "Lite" position. Then use a match or lighter to ignite the propane.

    There is also a small valve that you have to move to let LP flow after making the quick connection.

    I'll bet that's it. The valve is right at the connection.

    So I pulled the hose down and disconnected the flare fitting at the manifold. Blew in it till I thought my head was going to explode -- nuttin. Probed the line with a piece of wire and out came a small blob of web looking stuff with goo inside which probably was formally an insect of sorts. Welcome to Louisiana. Now I have fire.
    BTW thanks to Tucson Jim. There is a junction box on the wall behind the stove which I thought was powering a non working lighter. Now I know the "Lite" option is not.
    Thanks to all who offered advice.
